- Income inequality is the single greatest threat to the future of the United States. The affordability crisis and concentration of wealth must be addressed by Congress. If elected, I will pursue reforms to the tax code to eliminate loopholes and impose an "asset origination tax" at fair market value for compensation of any individual in lieu of a regular salary. Once enacted, any award of stock or real property to an individual or entity valued in excess of $400,000 will be subject to taxation. Farmland and assets transferred via inheritance would be exempt from this tax. Further, I would work to create a tax cut for any individual earning less than $72,000 per year or $125,000 for those married filing jointly.
- Our nation's "for profit" health care system is irreparably broken, inefficient and needlessly cruel. I fully and unequivocally support Medicare for All. Reproductive care is healthcare and healthcare is a human right. All citizens should have fair, effective and affordable access to universal basic health services. I will seek to expand the Medicare system to cover every citizen residing in the United States via reducing the qualifying age for Medicare access until every man, woman and child is covered. Under this system, for profit insurance and insurance through employers would still be encouraged for those who wish to have it.
- Our nation's founders envisioned three co-equal branches of government in which Congress held the power of the purse. I will reassert congressional authority over taxes, spending and levying tariffs to guarantee that the will of the people and spending reflects the greater good rather than the whims of the powerful. If elected, I will eliminate tax cuts for the wealthy. Then I intend to restore funding to the Veterans Health Administration, Department of Education and SNAP while reining in wasteful spending on Immigration and Customs Enforcement. My spending priorities also include support for our allies and defenders of democracy worldwide assuming they respect fundamental, human rights.
